I specifically wanted a V6 in a nice package. The V8 is too damn loud, powerful & fun, but not for me. I do wish I got NPP exhaust on the V6, as that brings it to the absolute perfect sound pitch & level, but stock sound is still quite nice. I'm not sure why you think the V8 is somehow what V6 owners are lusting after.
Very well said, however on an enthusiast forum like this it's not gonna be anywhere near a shared opinion. I wanted no part of a V-8. After I read about how nice the V-6 was, and after I drove it , I agreed and bought it cash.

But this goes on on every board, the bigger badder car vs the "cheaper/smaller" one: I've seen it on the BMW boards - the 328 vs 335, the C7 z51 vs base car, etc. and for some reason, it always boils down with the guys who bought the bigger car telling the others all the reasons why the smaller owners bought their car, they couldn't afford it, they settled, etc. " as I said above, it seems to be prevalent on any enthusiast board or hobby. We are seeing the same thing now on the drone boards regarding the bigger DJI units vs their new cheap Spark at half the price.
